Congress nominee Pradnya Satav, wife of former Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Satav who died earlier this year, is all set to get elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Council after the opposition BJP withdrew its candidate against her in a bypoll.

Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Monday said party leaders met with BJP leaders in the state and urged them to withdraw their candidate Sanjay Kenekar, and their request was accepted by the opposition party.
